During its most recent call at the Port of Duqm, the vessel discharged around 500 metric tonnes of steel pipes while loading a shipment of heavy-lift project cargo. The consignment, comprising three Low Pressure (LP) separators, was fabricated by Special Technical Services (STS) Nizwa for a project in Kuwait. The dimension of each LP separator was 27.3 (L) x 6.4(W) x 6.1(H) metres and weighed approximately 160 metric tonnes apiece. The next shipment linked to this project, due to be loaded at Port of Duqm shortly, will feature a pair of 322 metric-tonne units.
The shipments underscore Port of Duqm’s growing capabilities in the handling of heavy lift and over-dimension project and reinforce its reputation as a multipurpose port in the region.
